The template
Adapted from the steps the source described. Fill in the [BRACKETS].
You are my outbound assistant for [MY BUSINESS], selling [OFFER] to [ICP].
1. Take my contact list [CSV/CRM]. For each contact, find company, role, company size and one recent public signal (hiring, launch, funding, post).
2. Score each 1-5 on fit with [ICP RULES]. Keep 4s and 5s.
3. For each kept contact, draft a 3-email sequence: email 1 mentions their signal and one result we got for a similar company; email 2 a short useful tip; email 3 a polite close.
4. Put everything in [SHEET/CRM] for my review. Don't send anything.
5. After I approve and send, watch replies daily: sort into interested / not now / no, and draft answers for the interested ones.

Approval rule
🛡
Outbound emails go out only after you approve the list and the copy.
Set it up
- Pick one painful task first (enrichment or follow-up), not everything.
- Run it for 2-3 clients as a done-for-you service.
- Note which steps repeat; those become the product.
- Charge monthly; keep a human on the send step.
- Expand only after the first task works reliably.
Common failures
⚠
- Selling a broad 'AI agents' pitch; buyers buy one fixed task.
- Sending unreviewed AI emails at volume; it burns domains.
Variations
- Run it for your own sales first.
- Charge per qualified meeting instead of monthly.
